Epidemiological report of postural reeducation with the Three Squares method
Abstract
Objective: Report the results of 26 years patient care performed in a private practice, through the application of the Three Square Method. Acknowledge the frequency of characteristics, diagnoses and results in patients who received evaluation or evaluation and treatment.
Materials and Method: Observational, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study. Demographic data, diagnosis, affected body region, etiopathogenesis, biotypologies, Primary Retraction Zone were recorded in patients from 7 to 90 years old, treated in a private practice from 1994 to 2020. The variables: Pain, Flexibility and Mobility of the Spine were taken in session 1, 10, 20 and last follow-up. The Method Application was described.
Results: 301 patients were admitted, 21(7%) for postural evaluation, 280(93%) for evaluation and treatment. The median age was 42(RIQ 27 - 57) years and 178(59.1%) were women. 468 reasons for consultation were registered, in 115(38.2%) there were more than one reason; 69(22.92%) lumbociatalgia, 251(85.7%) cervical rectification. The median pain on admission was 7(RIQ 5 – 9) points. The most affected body region was the vertebral spine and thorax, with musculoskeletal etiopathogenesis, carbonic biotypology and the dorsal Primary Retraction Zone. A difference in results was observed for the VAS, lumbar Schoeber, total Schoeber and middle finger distance to floor, between the baseline evaluation and evaluations 1, 2 and 3.
Conclusion: The study reported several frequencies for wide and varied characteristics, diagnoses and results in patients who received evaluation or evaluation and treatment with Three Square Method, in patients aged 7 to 90 years, for 26 years in private practice.
